From Little Guys Playing to the Mountains with Snow (yes I said the S word)

Hello again!,

I just found out there will be an American Heart Association “Red Out” basketball game, Friday, February 7^th as the Fairborn Skyhawks take on the West Carrollton Pirates.  The Varsity game will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Baker Memorial Fieldhouse.  Red Out t-shirts can be purchased at the Fairborn High School on Friday.  If you would like to hit an early game, try the Fairborn High School Boys Freshman game at 4:30 and the Boys JV play at 6.  I would be remiss if I did not mention the Fairborn Varsity Girls Basketball team play, Thursday, February 6^th at 7:30 p.m.  at West Carrollton.  High school basketball is always a great way to spend fun time with your family. You can probably get more information on the basketball games or any Fairborn City Schools sports by calling the athletic department at 937-878-6305.
